This resolution approves extensive amendments, making it one of the most comprehensive updates since the regulations were first issued.
&nbsp;
Key changes include stricter criteria for forming VAT groups and refining rules concerning the cessation of economic activities, nominal supplies, and transfers of going concern (TOGC). Additionally, the amendments clarify VAT treatment for special zones, services to non-GCC residents, government grants, financing contracts, and online platforms. Furthermore, the revisions align the issuance timeframe for credit and debit notes with that of tax invoices, requiring them to be issued no later than fifteen days after the month following the date on which the event occurs.
&nbsp;
Although these changes do not directly impact e-invoicing processes, it is crucial for all businesses operating in the <a href="https://www.pagero.com/compliance/solutions/zatca-e-invoicing-saudi-arabia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kingdom of Saudi Arabia</a>&nbsp;and their tax advisors to thoroughly reassess and analyze these amendments to understand their impact on business models and compliance requirements.
&nbsp;
The announcement can be accessed <a href="https://uqn.gov.sa/details?p=27121" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. The <a href="https://zatca.gov.sa/ar/RulesRegulations/Taxes/Documents/Implmenting%20Regulations%20of%20the%20VAT%20Law.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest version of the regulations</a>, including these amendments, is available on the ZATCA official website.
&nbsp;

On April 18, 2025, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) announced Board Resolution No. 01-06-24 in the Official Gazette, marking a significant update to the Value-Added Tax (VAT) Implementing Regulations.

On December 13, 2024, the Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA) of Argentina published <a href="https://biblioteca.afip.gob.ar/search/query/norma.aspx?p=t:RAG|n:5614|o:9|a:2024|f:12/12/2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">General Resolution No. 5614/2024</a> which addresses the "Consumer Tax Transparency Regime", also known as "RTFC." The new obligation requires businesses to break down the Value-Added Tax (VAT) and other withholding taxes that affect the price of goods and services in the respective electronic receipts.
&nbsp;
This mandate became effective this year and had two different implementation dates.
January 1, 2025:
<ul>
<li>Mandatory for large businesses;</li>
<li>Voluntary for small and medium enterprises.</li>
</ul>
April 1, 2025:
<ul>
<li>Mandatory for small and medium enterprises.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
More information can be found in the above Resolution (in Spanish).

Previously, large businesses had to adhere to new invoicing rules. Since April 1, 2025, SMEs are also part of this obligation.

The NGM wants to contribute to developing the operational, technological, and organizational infrastructure to successfully implement <a href="https://www.pagero.com/compliance/vat-in-the-digital-age-vida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ViDA</a>. Therefore, in cooperation with KPMG, they have launched an autonomous questionnaire survey for the taxpayers and organizations that provide services related to taxation, accounting, invoicing, etc.
&nbsp;
The goal is to gather the opinions of the representatives of large businesses, accountants, and tax advisors in the sector, who may contribute with their insights on invoicing, data reporting and VAT reporting processes.
&nbsp;
The questionnaire links are available <a href="https://kormany.hu/nemzetgazdasagi-miniszterium/kerdoiv-a-vida-csomag-hazai-bevezeteserol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>, with April 18, 2025, as the submission deadline.

The Ivory Coast has been working to streamline the invoicing system since 2005 when it first adopted reforms for standardized paper invoicing. Now, 20 years later, the country turns to digitalization to further enhance invoicing procedures by establishing the Electronic Standardized Invoice System (FNE) and the Electronic Standardized Receipt System (RNE).
&nbsp;
Phased roll-out strategy
The <a href="https://dgi.gouv.ci/assets/documents/EBOOK/ANNEXE_FISCALE_2025/#p=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tax Annex of 2025</a>, effective from January 10, 2025, mandates the issuance of electronic standardized invoices. A structured roll-out plan has been <a href="https://www.fne.dgi.gouv.ci/documents/FNE-Guide%20utilisateur.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">established</a>, with specific deadlines for different taxpayer groups.
<ul>
<li>February 24, 2025: Registration in the <a href="https://e-impots.gouv.ci/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FNE platform</a> opens for all taxpayer regimes in scope;</li>
<li>April 1, 2025: Taxpayers covered by the Normal Real Tax Regime (RNI)* must begin issuing e-invoices;</li>
<li>June 1, 2025: Obligations extend to those covered by the Simplified Real Tax Regime (RSI);</li>
<li>August 1, 2025: Compliance required for Microenterprise Regime (RME) taxpayers;</li>
<li>September 1, 2025: State Entrepreneur Tax (TEE) and Municipal Entrepreneur Tax (TCE) taxpayers must issue e-invoices.</li>
</ul>
Following the roll-out, all VAT-registered companies in the Ivory Coast must issue electronic standardized invoices or receipts for all transaction types (B2C, B2B and B2G), with certain exceptions:
<ul>
<li>Public service concessionaires for water, electricity, and telephone services;</li>
<li>Companies involved in oil production sharing contracts;</li>
<li>Pharmacies, airlines, and gas stations (limited to fuel sales);</li>
<li>The Ivory Coast postal service, banks, insurance companies;</li>
<li>Transport service concessionaires for operations covered by concessions;</li>
<li>Companies without physical facilities in the Ivory Coast.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
How to comply with the mandate
Taxpayers can generate invoices using methods approved by the General Directorate of Taxes (DGI), including ERP integration via API, the FNE platform, the mobile FNE app, or payment terminals for receipts. Furthermore, document validity must be ensured through certification with a QR code, the FNE visual, and serial numbering compliant with the DGI prescribed format. More details can be found on the DGI <a href="https://www.fne.dgi.gouv.ci/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>.
&nbsp;
The roll-out of the FNE and RNE systems marks a significant step in digital transformation, enhancing tax compliance and business operations in the Ivory Coast.
&nbsp;

Slovakia tax authorities&rsquo; spokesperson <a href="https://www.teraz.sk/spravy/fs-pracuje-na-vytvoreni-prostredia-pre/865341-clanok.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that the <a href="https://www.teraz.sk/spravy/fs-pracuje-na-vytvoreni-prostredia-pre/865341-clanok.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FS</a> has launched a project to establish an e-invoicing environment, which will lead to mandatory countrywide e-invoicing. The main goal is to digitalize the invoicing process, and to do so, the FS decided to join the <a href="https://www.pagero.com/compliance/peppol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peppol network</a> and establish a decentralized e-invoicing solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
This means that parties will be able to send structured invoices without needing buyers' consent to deliver an invoice via Peppol since all businesses will be registered in the network.&nbsp;

The Financial Administration in Slovakia (FS) will implement decentralized e-invoicing via Peppol network.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Slovakia introduces decentralized e-invoicing via Peppol 

On April 1, 2025, the Rhineland-Pfalz E-Invoicing Ordinance RLP 2025 (<a href="https://www.landesrecht.rlp.de/bsrp/document/jlr-ERechVRPpP3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E-Rechnungsverordnung RLP, ERechVORP</a>) came into effect, mandating electronic invoicing to public entities in the state. This regulation outlines the requirements of the federal E-Invoicing Act, forming part of the implementation of <a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2014/55/oj/eng" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Directive 2014/55/EU</a> on electronic invoicing.
&nbsp;
Rheinland-Pfalz 
Invoice issuers can submit e-invoices via email, the state's <a href="https://e-rechnung.service.rlp.de/rechnungseingang/user/login" target="_blank" rel="noopener">portal,</a> or the <a href="https://www.pagero.com/compliance/peppol" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peppol network</a>. Independent of submission methods, businesses first must register on the portal.
&nbsp;
The required formats are XRechnung or ZUGFeRD. It is specified that only the XML file of ZUGFeRD hybrid invoices will be processed and sent to the invoice recipient, while the PDF files will be discarded.
&nbsp;
More details on how to submit an e-invoice and routing IDs are available <a href="https://e-rechnung.service.rlp.de/informationen-fuer-rechnungssteller/einreichung-e-rechnung-was-zu-beachten-ist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> (in German).
&nbsp;
Hessen 
On April 18, 2024, the B2G e-invoicing obligation took effect in the state of Hessen. Initially, public contracting authorities in Hessen would only receive e-invoices via e-mail to <a href="mailto:e-rechnung@ekrw.hessen.de" target="_blank" rel="noopener">e-invoice@ekrw.hessen.de</a>. Now, as an alternative, e-invoices can also be uploaded to the state's <a href="https://abf9djgmm.accounts.ondemand.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=d8bd2fe8-aea9-40ef-8dfe-e3a5c715090b&amp;response_type=code&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fprd-e-krw.authentication.eu10.hana.ondemand.com%2Flogin%2Fcallback%2Fsap.custom&amp;state=uyrXKT14cx&amp;scope=email+openid+profile&amp;nonce=Qaz4WmSMCY0L">portal</a>.
&nbsp;
The portal's main advantage is that it allows for submitting e-invoices with larger attachments, up to 100 MB, compared to the 22 MB limit for e-mail submissions. Currently, it is not possible to submit e-invoices via Peppol.
&nbsp;
More details are available <a href="https://verwaltungsportal.hessen.de/information/elektronische-rechnungen-im-land-hessen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> (in German).

The Rhineland-Pfalz E-Invoicing Ordinance RLP 2025 mandates electronic invoicing for public entities in alignment with Directive 2014/55/EU since April 1, 2025. In Hessen, a similar mandate took effect on April 18, 2024, initially permitting e-invoice submissions only via e-mail.

On March 21, 2025, the Bulgarian State Budget for 2025 was <a href="https://www.parliament.bg/bg/laws/ID/166100" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adopted</a> by the National Assembly, officially passing the requirement for businesses to submit <a href="https://www.pagero.com/blog/understanding-saf-t" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAF-T reports</a> into law.
&nbsp;
The ratification of the state budget entails the exact requirements and timelines for SAF-T submission, as <a href="https://www.pagero.com/compliance/regulatory-updates/bulgaria" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously reported</a> by Pagero. The obligation will enter into force for certain large enterprises on January 1, 2026, and by 2030, all taxpayers will be in scope with few exceptions.
&nbsp;
Businesses in the scope will now have to start preparing to report economic activity data and accounting records to ensure compliance with the regulations.

The Bulgarian 2025 State Budget has been adopted, formally introducing the requirement for businesses to submit Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T file) as of January 1, 2026.

The Angolan Government has <a href="https://governo.gov.ao/noticias/2167/governo/reforma-tributaria/executivo-prepara-facturacao-electronica" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the upcoming implementation of e-invoicing. Presidential Decree No. 71/25, published on March 20, 2025, establishes the Legal Framework for Tax Invoices. This framework applies to resident taxpayers in Angola and will take effect six months after its publication. It replaces the existing decree on the Legal Framework for Invoices and Equivalent Documents and incorporates electronic invoicing requirements.
&nbsp;
Purpose, e-invoice definition and scope
The Presidential Decree outlines the rules for issuing, rectifying, canceling, and archiving invoices and tax-relevant documents and introduces the &ldquo;Award-Winning Invoice&rdquo; Draw.
&nbsp;
An electronic invoice is a document issued and received electronically via invoicing software, capable of real-time transmission to the General Tax Administration (AGT).
&nbsp;
Taxpayers subject to e-invoicing include those under the general and simplified VAT regimes, while those under the exclusion regime may opt in voluntarily.
&nbsp;
System requirements and web portal
Both e-invoice systems providers and the taxpayers using them must ensure operational and data integrity and maintain technical documentation. An AGT digital code must be applied to issued e-documents to guarantee authenticity and integrity. Billing systems should report sales values bi-monthly.
&nbsp;
Taxpayers under the VAT exclusion regime and individuals with tax residency in Angola can issue invoices via the <a href="https://portaldocontribuinte.minfin.gov.ao/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taxpayer portal</a>. Upon AGT authorization, taxpayers under the general and simplified VAT regimes may also issue invoices through this portal.
&nbsp;
Issuance rules and archiving
<ul>
<li>Electronic invoices must adhere to the mandatory requirements outlined in Article 10, with invoice data submitted in real time to the AGT;</li>
<li>Taxpayers under the simplified and general VAT regimes must use AGT-validated invoicing software or software provided by the AGT and are required to submit the <a href="https://www.pagero.com/blog/understanding-saf-t" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAF-T</a> electronically. Taxpayers under the exclusion regime may use AGT-validated software or pre-printed AGT-certified invoice booklets.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
All invoices, tax-relevant documents, and records related to the analysis, programming, and execution of computer processing must be maintained within the deadlines established by the General Tax Code. The archiving process must ensure integrity and accuracy throughout the storage period.
&nbsp;
Roll-out of the mandate
In September 2025, the following requirements will be introduced:
<ul>
<li>All transactions exceeding twenty-five million KZ (approximately 25,000 EUR) must be documented as an e-invoice or be issued on the taxpayer portal.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Once the Executive Decree outlining the technical specifications takes effect, during the following 12 months (1st year):
<ul>
<li>E-invoices will be mandatory for B2G transactions (excluding self-billing) and B2B transactions for large taxpayers;</li>
<li>Other taxpayers must issue invoices and tax-relevant documents using AGT-certified software.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
After 12 months (2nd year) have passed since the Executive Decree outlining the technical specifications came into effect:
<ul>
<li>All taxpayers in the scope must adopt e-invoicing.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Sanctions
Non-compliance will result in penalties as per Article 35.
&nbsp;
The award-winning invoice
To combat tax evasion, prizes will be randomly awarded to taxpayers with reported invoices. Individuals can participate if their Tax Identification Number (NIF) is provided. Unreported invoices can be communicated to the AGT for eligibility.

Angola is preparing to introduce electronic invoicing for resident companies and a prize invoice scheme for individual taxpayers, according to the President of the General Tax Administration Board (AGT). Compliance will include using AGT-validated software and real-time data transmission.

Angola prepares for e-invoicing introduction

However, if domestic small companies wish to claim tax exemption in other Member States, they must participate in the special reporting procedure (under Section 19a of the UStG), managed by the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt).
&nbsp;
Entrepreneurs established in other EU countries can also claim tax exemption under Section 19 of the VAT Act for services provided in Germany, provided they meet the requirements outlined in the VAT Act.
&nbsp;
As previously reported, the eligibility threshold for being considered a VAT-exempt small business has increased to an annual turnover of no more than 25,000 EUR for the previous fiscal year and 100,000 EUR for the current fiscal year.
&nbsp;
Current waivers will continue, allowing small business owners the option to waive their right to the exemption. Doing so enables them to participate in the VAT system like larger businesses.

On March 18, 2025, Germany's Ministry of Finance published new regulations for small businesses, aligned with EU Directive 2020/285, updating the German VAT Act and Annual Tax Act 2024.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2025/04/02/pdfs/BOE-A-2025-6600.pdf">Royal Decree 254/2025</a>, published in the BOE (Official State Gazette) on April 2nd, modifies <a href="https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-2023-24840">Royal Decree 1007/2023</a> and establishes the following new deadlines for taxpayer compliance:
<ul>
<li>Corporate Taxpayers: The compliance deadline has been extended to January 1, 2026, a six-month delay from the original date of July 1, 2025.</li>
<li>All Other Taxpayers: The compliance deadline is now July 1, 2026.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
This extension also affects software producers and vendors covered by multi-year maintenance contracts in effect before the 9-month period. Their deadline has been extended from July 1, 2025, to January 1, 2026, to ensure their products meet Veri*factu requirements.
&nbsp;
The delay is attributed to the complex process of drafting and approving the regulation and the late publication of Ministerial Order HAC/1177/2024 on October 17, 2024. This order details the technical, functional, and content specifications outlined in Royal Decree 1007/2023.
&nbsp;
Taxpayers already utilizing the Immediate Information Supply (SII) system for VAT record-keeping are exempt from Veri*factu requirements, as their existing systems are considered to provide sufficient information and guarantees. This exemption also applies to invoices issued for operations documented by the recipient or a third party due to mandatory regulations.
&nbsp;
The Veri*factu regulation aims to standardize invoicing processes and ensure greater transparency in business transactions. The deadline extensions are intended to provide businesses and software providers with more time to adapt to the new requirements.

The Spanish Tax Authorities have announced an extension to the compliance deadlines for the Veri*factu regulation, which mandates specific requirements for invoicing software used by businesses and professionals.

Accredited Access Points have a crucial role in the GST InvoiceNow Requirement, as they create and maintain the connectivity gateways (i.e., Access Points that function as access nodes on the InvoiceNow network; they also ensure compliance to the Peppol standards and routing of invoices to the correct destination Access Points).
&nbsp;
Access Points have undergone an extensive onboarding process to be acknowledged as Accredited Access Points by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). On April 2, 2025, the IMDA published an <a href="https://www.imda.gov.sg/how-we-can-help/nationwide-e-invoicing-framework/access-point-providers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official list</a> of Accredited Access Point Providers.
&nbsp;
Pagero has successfully met all the requirements and has been recognized by the IMDA as an Accredited Access Point. This accreditation allows Pagero to offer a compliant solution to international and domestic businesses operating in Singapore.
&nbsp;
GST-registered businesses will be required to adopt the GST InvoiceNow Requirement progressively, starting with mandatory participation of newly incorporated companies that register for GST voluntarily. Currently, mandatory participation is not applicable to new compulsory GST registrants. However, there are plans to extend this obligation to new compulsory GST registrants and remaining GST-registered businesses.

On March 21, 2025, the Saudi Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) <a href="https://zatca.gov.sa/en/MediaCenter/News/Pages/news_1361.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> the criteria for wave 22 of taxpayers needing to comply with the second phase of the e-invoicing mandate. 
This wave includes taxpayers with revenues subject to VAT exceeding 1 million SAR (approximately 246,300 EUR) during 2022, 2023, or 2024. Taxpayers in the scope will have to <a href="https://www.pagero.com/compliance/solutions/zatca-e-invoicing-saudi-arabia">issue e-invoices</a> and integrate with the FATOORA platform no later than December 31, 2025.
&nbsp;
ZATCA will notify all affected taxpayers to allow timely compliance with the above obligation.

Taxpayers included in the twenty-second wave must issue e-invoices and integrate with the FATOORA platform by December 31, 2025.

On March 20, 2025, executive orders <a href="https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2025/297" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BEK no. 297</a> and <a href="https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/2025/303" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BEK no. 303</a> were issued, marking a significant extension to businesses needed to comply with the Danish digital bookkeeping obligation.
&nbsp;
Who is in the scope?
The orders mandate compliance with the act for the following entities:
<ul>
<li>Personally owned businesses&nbsp;with an annual turnover exceeding 300,000 DKK (ca. 40,000 EUR) for two consecutive years;</li>
<li>Associations&nbsp;with a commercial turnover over 300,000 DKK (ca. 40,000 EUR) annually for two consecutive years;</li>
<li>Subsidiaries&nbsp;of financial companies, insurance firms, and ATP that are required to submit financial reports, previously exempt due to group-linked accounting systems.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
The decision follows an evaluation by the Danish Business Authority, revealing that the costs of implementing digital bookkeeping systems are lower than anticipated, while the potential cost savings are significantly higher.
&nbsp;
Impact on businesses
Businesses must ensure their bookkeeping systems comply with the requirements of the Bookkeeping Act by the 2026 deadline. The transition aims to streamline financial reporting and enhance transparency through requirements on the digital bookkeeping systems, including the capability to issue, receive and archive electronic invoices.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Denmark has broadened the digital bookkeeping regulations to include companies without a requirement to submit financial reports. The expansion comes after strong support during public consultation, resulting in two new executive orders mandating the extension. Starting January 1, 2026, the changes will affect approximately 118,000 additional businesses.

The Danish Business Authority has <a href="https://nemhandel.dk/meddelelse-om-udskydelse-af-oioubl-30-final-release-dato-0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> postponing the final release date for the new version of the Danish e-invoicing format OIOUBL 3. The final release of the invoice package is now expected in October 2025.
&nbsp;
The postponement follows several inquiries sent to the Danish Business Authority needing further analysis.
&nbsp;
The authority informs that further announcements regarding the analysis's outcome will be made later.&nbsp;

The final release of OIOUBL 3, scheduled for April 10, 2025, has been delayed. The new expected release date is now set to October 2025.&nbsp;

On March 24, 2025, a <a href="https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/17/amendements/0481/CSVIEECO/1268" target="_blank" rel="noopener">draft amendment</a> was adopted by the French committee of National Assembly. The amendment proposes to delay the initial introduction of the <a href="https://www.pagero.com/compliance/solutions/e-invoicing-mandate-france" target="_blank" rel="noopener">French CTC mandate</a> on September 1, 2026, by the following timelines:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>September 1, 2027: &nbsp;Obligation for all companies to be able to receive e-invoices, Large and Intermediate companies to issue e-invoices;
<ul>
<li>This date may be postponed by a decree until December 1, 2027, at the latest;</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>September 1, 2028: Obligation for Small, Medium and Micro companies to issue e-invoices.
<ul>
<li>This date may be postponed by a decree until December 1, 2028, at the latest.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
The main reason for this potential delay proposed by the amendment has to do with the changes to the PPF (Portail Public de Facturation), the Government&rsquo;s e-invoicing&nbsp;platform, in October of last year.&nbsp;Previously, it was intended that the PPF would have a central part in the distribution of <a href="https://www.pagero.com/blog/what-is-an-e-invoice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">e-invoices</a> and would offer a free-of-charge alternative for companies to choose. This is no longer the case, and the draft amendment aims to give companies more time to prepare, considering the changes that happened.
&nbsp;
It is uncertain if the draft amendment will pass the next steps of the legislative process in its current form, but if it does, it would mean yet another delay to the French reform. The final vote on the draft amendment is expected in April 2025.

Following last year&rsquo;s significant changes to the French reform, a draft amendment was adopted on March 24, 2025, by a committee of the National Assembly proposing to delay the introduction of the French CTC mandate by one year. The amendment is not yet legally binding and is still going through the legislative process, with a final decision expected in April 2025.

On February 10, 2025, the Philippine Bureau of Customs issued <a href="https://www.dof.gov.ph/resources/issuances/joint-administrative-order-no-001-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Customs Administrative Order (CAO) 001-2025</a>, providing guidelines to <a href="https://dtiwebfiles.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/Laws+and+Policies/JAO/Draft-JAO-080824.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Administrative Order No. 23-2024</a>. The order introduces two new procedures relating to customs processing, as the Pre-border Technical Verification (PTV) and the Cross-border E-Invoicing (CEI) system are implemented. Both procedures aim to streamline import flows to the Philippines.
&nbsp;
Cross-border E-invoicing (CEI)
The CEI system is an electronic platform for e-invoice issuance operated by the Philippine government. Through the order, e-invoicing via the CEI system is mandated for transactions relating to all goods imported by sea or air.
&nbsp;
To fulfill the obligations and issue invoices via the system, foreign exporters will be required to apply for registration annually to the CEI system, upon which they will receive a digital certificate required for signing the electronic invoices.
&nbsp;
The obligation to implement the CEI will be rolled out in three stages:
<ul>
<li>Mandatory registration of foreign exporters: 30 days after the publication of the customs administrative order providing the specific procedures for the CEI system;</li>
<li>Mandatory use of the CEI system for all imports covered by the BOC Bulk and Break-Bulk Cargo Clearance Enhancement Program: 60 days after the publication of the customs administrative order referred to above;</li>
<li>Mandatory use of the CEI system for all other imports: 90 days after the publication of the customs administrative order referred to above.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Pre-border Technical Verification (PTV)
The Pre-border Technical Verification verifies certain goods&rsquo; characteristics and ensures imports comply with regulatory requirements before reaching the Philippine border. As part of the PTV, the foreign exporter must engage with a PTV Accredited Testing, Inspection, and Certification Company (ATICC) in their country of origin and submit documents and provide for inspection of any goods in the scope. The ATICC will, in turn, issue a Certificate of Conformity to the foreign exporter, enabling advanced customs clearance upon arrival in the Philippines.
&nbsp;
The obligation to implement the PTV will be phased depending on the characteristics of the goods:
<ul>
<li>Phase 1 - Agricultural goods: 30 days after the publication of the CAO providing for the specific procedures for the PTV;</li>
<li>Phase 2 - Non-agricultural products with health and safety issues: 60 days after the publication of the CAO mentioned above;</li>
<li>Phase 3 - Other goods susceptible to misdeclaration to avoid duties and taxes: 90 days after the publication of the CAO mentioned above.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Penalties
Non-compliance with the CEI or PTV requirements may result in various penalties, including fines, revocation of importer accreditation, and slower customs processing.
&nbsp;
Timeline
According to the regulation, the full implementation of the PTV and CEI systems will enter into force within two years of the effective date for Administrative Order No. 23/2024.

In a move to streamline customs clearance and invoicing procedures, the Philippine Bureau of Customs (BOC) introduces Pre-border Technical Verification (PTV) and a Cross-border E-Invoicing (CEI) system. The systems will require foreign exporters in scope to register and issue invoices in the CEI system, and to provide details on the export characteristics through the PTV.
